4. Stowaway (2020)

‘Stowaway’ is an upcoming science-fiction thriller-drama that is slated to be released in 2020. On a mission to Mars, a stowaway accidentally causes a lot of damage to the life support systems of the spaceship. Meanwhile, the astronauts have come too far away from Earth to turn back.

While Anna Kendrick plays the role of the researcher, Toni Collette appears in the role of the commander. It will be good to see Collette’s character assume authority and she will undoubtedly amaze us with an intense performance.

3. Dream Horse (2020)

‘Dream Horse’ is an upcoming drama film that tells the story of Jan, a woman who begins a racing syndicate in her village. The small Welsh setting is also a witness to her attempts to raise a champion racehorse. It is a real-life drama and was the subject of Louise Osmond’s documentary, titled ‘Dark Horse’. Euros Lyn of ‘Black Mirror‘ fame is attached to direct the project. Basically, we will see a barmaid who recruits her husband and a group of other people to help her train the racehorse in the Welsh countryside.

Lyn spoke about the upcoming project, saying, “I grew up in the Welsh valleys where everyone knows this story – it’s a local legend. The moment I read Neil’s brilliant script, I knew I had to direct this funny and moving film. Casting Toni Collette as Jan Vokes, our extraordinary heroine, and Damian Lewis as Howard Davies, her intriguingly conflicted accomplice, is my own dream come true.” It is evident that the role of Jan will require a lot of dedication and will be a power-packed performance. We can depend on Toni Collette to deliver the same.

2. I’m Thinking of Ending Things (TBA)
